April 5-26, 2024:
Connecting the dots with KnowHax, the Knowledge-centric AI hackathon.
Pre-register now to secure your spot for learning Knowledge-centric AI.
KnowHax,
the first Knowledge-centric AI Hackathon where innovation meets impact.
-
Solve important challenges
Technologists, designers, project managers and business experts design, architect, and prototype apps and data that are the test bed of future AIs.
-
Build your skills
Learn Knowledge Graphs and AI as you develop prototypes, a portfolio useful to show your skills and build meaningful connections with experts.
-
Get hiring visibility
Get direct visibility with employers struggling to hire the tech talent they dream about: life-long learners, great communicants, and team players.
A new kind of hackathon brought to you by the Knowledge Graph Conference and the National Science Foundation
Partnering with the world's leading research institutions to build the first “Open Knowledge Network”.
Remote.
All sub-events (Onboarding, Launch, Pitch, Team meetings, Mentor meetings…) will be accessible remotely.
Main Hack Dates:
APR 5 - APR 26
Pitch Date:
May 10, NYC / Remote Hybrid.
-
Teams will support Beneficiaries: research projects funded by the NSF to create the first Open Knowledge Network - the knowledge that future AI will leverage.
-
Participants create Teams. Teams tackle Challenges by proposing Solutions. Teams meet, work, network, and have fun by doing! “A rewarding experience”
-
Mentors are tech experts, or business experts, who join for 3 to 8 hours total for the whole month of the Hack, and connect with one or more Team(s).
-
Choose their primary goals for sponsoring, so that their organization gets the right reporting and their employees (if any) may be engaged for the proper results and KPI, as chosen by the sponsor.
-
Solutions are what is produced: prototypes of implementations of the research project’s knowledge graphs. These prototypes should preferably contain functional code or no-code samples, but can also just consist of designs or data research. They are produced in open-source mode.
-
participants: commitment for 3 weekends in April 2024, and/or 3 full weeks
mentors: commitment for 3 hours, or 8 hours in April 2024. You choose.
sponsor: commitment for 1 hour of KPI sharing, 1 hour of employee invites, and as much event speaking or participation as appreciable or doable.
